No, hasn't crossed my mind yet. As for the standalone app, yes thought about it. But as I've no experience in app development, I can't make it happen. But another user has created an app called "TWRP theme manager". You can find it in the play store and here at XDA. But I'm not a big fan of it tbh, as it is donation / add driven (it's creator wants to gain revenue from distributing the otherwise free work of others). Also there's no proper OTA mechanism, so users have to follow XDA in any case to be aware of theme updates.

All info I have is available to the public on their gerrit. Lots of bugfixes.

An interesting feature that hasn't been merged yet, is the option to perform an "antiforensic wipe". Wiping with this option enabled should make it impossible to recover any "deleted" data (e.g. in case one wants to sell the phone).

As far as visible changes go, the console can display coloured highlights, backup and restore progress is beeing shown in percentage / file size, a possibility to use images for the settings sliders has been added at my request. I've added screenshots to illustrate what the changes look like in the theme.

They're also laying the foundation for a portrait/landscape orientation switch (for all devices), based on the functionality Tasssadar implemented in his MultiROM recovery.

As for Holofied, the next theme version will also contain updated fonts (new roboto). Some small fixes here and there, the color changing script has been revised to work on more devices (with dual storage).

After this update, I hope to be able to dedicate more time to Holofieds successor (Materialised).

TWRP Materialised Progress

I thought it's time to reveal what I've been working on during the last few weeks.

So here's my take on materialising TWRP...

The following sections are completed: Settings, Install, Wipe and Backup.

Creating the other sections now is a matter of copying stuff and testing it, so the main part of the job is already done.

Certain details - like the keyboard for example - will probably be changed after the initial release.

The layout grid is now much more granulated, to allow for better definition of element positions and padding. The general idea was to make the UI appear more lightweight.

As far as colors go, I'll stick to the palette google specifies in their guidelines. This also means there won't be a play theme any longer (but there will be a theme with different colors for every section of the recovery, but without the solid buttons). But the first versions to see the light of day will be light / dark single color versions.

The screenshots show a work in progress and things might change a little here and there until the release, but overall you should get a pretty good idea of how your TWRP could look like in the near future.

Please comment on what you like / dislike about it or if you have any ideas you'd like to see implemented...

Damn! I need to have this!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Primokorn:
[MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION] This is just awesome!

My 2 cents for the UI:

• The text on the main menu is a little bit too big

• Need to change the colors of the keyboard as mentioned for having colors that match better with the other elements

• Maybe a border of 1/2 px around "Cancel" and "OK" to delimit these actions.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] guju83:
Good UI for TWRP
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] wvanstraalen:
Accidentally booting into recovery mode will be worth it due to this wonderful theme ;)

Any chance this becomes the default theme for TWRP?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
How do you make a border of half a pixel?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Primokorn:
1 OR 2 pixels :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Elluel:

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
TWRP Materialised Progress

So here's another update on the progress of the new theme:

It's ready.

The light version is finally complete and working beautyfully. As it contains changes that require the yet to be released new version of TWRP, I won't release it yet. Instead I'll use the time to make a dark version of it, and if time allows, the "play-ish" version. Multirom version will be the last.

Here are a few changes I've made since my last post:

Good call mate, played around with smaller font sizes and found the current choice to look nicer and to be easier to read. Will leave it that way.

As for your other suggestions: Keyboard is still on the todo list, border for buttons on dialogs would touch and thus look weird. The touch area is large enough, one doesn't need to aim for the letters...

I've completely removed the tabs from all sections, with the exception of the settings page which uses icons instead of text labels. As per guidelines, tabs are not to be used for navigation. As a side effect, the navigation structure is almost identical with stock TWRP and the buttons to navigate between the pages are placed closer to the lower edge of the screen, which makes them easier to reach.

Restore page and file manager are in place, so is the color changing mechanism. There are 15 colors to choose from, I only shunned the two purple tones and the screaming yellow one.

Finally, some screens:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Primokorn:
Good looking! The whole UI seems harmonious with a clear navigation.

A new version of TWRP is in progress? Didn't know that.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Yes, looks like they can't put an end to adding new features. Latest additions include MTP support and, if Tasssadar gets it working, true type font support (which would be just awesome from my point of view).
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
TTF support, that means custom fonts all over the place? :p great job with material design, it looks really awesome. The only thing i could think of, is to change circle colors on first twrp page to colors like in google camera. Not sure if so many colors would hurt eyes and cause illness. :D

Is 2.8.0.0 the version that the material theme is for?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Yepp. Have flashed the image? I can't get it to work. Flashify, fastboot and the script that comes with this theme fail to install the image.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Yes, but now the update for Holofied is in order.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] kevtrysmoddin:
Not flashing for me either [emoji20]
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] wbagdon:
I tried with fastboot and rebooting to recovery just throws me back to the bootloader.

Reverting back to 2.7.1.1 still works though
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] kevtrysmoddin:
Anyone know how we can report this issue
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
New image has been uploaded. Reported working in the TWRP thread.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] wbagdon:
Confirmed 2.8.0.0 has been replaced with a working version

Oh my

So here we go. As the hammerhead thread is by far the most active one, this is the place to receive some first feedback.

Consider this theme a beta version. Things are still likely to change here and there.

Please do not port this beta version to any other devices yet.

If you can test it on an other 1080p device than the N5, please do so - but don't open threads in other devices sections yet.

If you find anything wrong, odd looking or not working, please report it here.

If you find everything working, please also report it here.

If you want to suggest changes, feel free to do so.

The colour changes fine installing is fine. It looks amazing it's beautiful!

One suggestion that would look awesome if possible would be a material style twrp curtain
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Hatshipuh:
Tested the beta, everything I tried was working. Just went through every settings and tested every button. Colour change worked too, backup and deleting backup worked.

Just found the colour of the progress bar a bit weird. Was using light blue and the dark violet progress bar looked kinda out of place. But nothing big.

Keep up the good work!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Dark violet? It's supposed to be a dark grey. At least that's the tone I'm seeing.

What color would be a better match in your opinion?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Not sure what that curtain should look like. Please elaborate.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Hatshipuh:
Oh on second sight it is indeed dark grey, my eyes may have fooled me due to the light blue contrast.

I don't know if a slightly lighter grey tone would be more fitting, but then again, I can't tell if it might conflict with the other colours.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] sykomaniac:
Haha its absolutely beautiful!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] AA1973:
Noice. Repacked black TWRP and the theme switch went flawlessly. I switched between Material and Black /Dark theme

Will check more tomorrow while flashing Rom etc.

Excellent work ?

I like the new material theme
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] kevtrysmoddin:
Something like the light curtain in your curtain folder but with the lettering having the material shadows or possibly a flat coloured background with a circular twrp logo like +dees Troy's profile image on g+ with teamwin recovery underneath in an alternate colour box like the install button in the beta theme if I had the skills I would attempt it myself but I don't have a clue where to start
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] theone_s_me:
Cant find multirom button in advanced menu after installing beta (L) theme... Im using the latest multirom twrp recovery (2014-9-11)

/inb4 out-of-beta release

Although it's nothing major to me, here's a issue I've came across when one wipes a phone and attempts to reboot without a ROM.

Part of the text (Are you) is in the header (I think that's what it's called?) when it should be in the body with "sure you wish to restart?"

I haven't come across any other bugs/issues so far. This is a beautiful piece of work!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Glad you like it.

Multirom version will be the last to arrive, haven't even started with it yet. First want to have the base sorted...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Good find! Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] xDanVitox:
Running the material version on a Verizon M8 and all seems good even though I haven't tested everything. I just wanted to request (if possible) an option to remove the am/pm from the 12 hour clock and a nice material themed splash screen as the original is quite dated. Also, this is gorgeous. Really, really awesome!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
The 24 hour option is now in time settings. As for the splash, I'll see what I can do.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] xDanVitox:
No, I mean I want to use the 12 hour clock just without the am/pm appended to the end.

Thank you for all your work

also can't wait for multirom Materialized...looks great

great stuff, thanks a lot!

I'd also vote for a new splash screen.

Will there be a steady folder with the materialized updates? In the same folder like the other themes?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
I will drop Holofied as soon as all Materialised versions are ready. Impossible to maintain both.

So yes, dedicated thread and folder and all.

Beautiful theme.. The floating action button for add files to queue, and in the file manager look fab ;) Great work.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Natakranta:
Thanks a million for 2800 repacks and themes! That was quick.

I just flashed MultiROM 2800 dark repack and put MultiROM dark theme on top of it. I went briefly through menus and all looks good. I haven't tried any wipes or flashing yet.

I noticed that my work Windows 7 PC does not see my Nexus 5 as MTP when in recovery. I tried disabling MTP and enabling it back but no success.

Can anybody confirm it?

When booted to system MTP works, PC can access phone SD.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Once it's finished, I wouldn't mind... ?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
MTP doesn't work for me either. Scanning through other TWRP threads, it seems to be the same for other devices as well.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Natakranta:
Thank you for confirming. Now I know at least that it's not a user error but general thing with new TWRP.

I hope they manage to fix it because having MTP available in recovery will be totally new quality.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
2.8.0.1 just dropped, still waiting on the changelog though.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
My guess is they tried to fix MTP.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
Possibly not? http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 still lists as 2.8.0.0 though I think that's a typo, mentions nothing of MTP.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Last two commits I saw on gerrit where mtp related. No mention of graphics stuff...

So I guess making repacks for the initial release after a version bump is still a bad idea. [emoji53]
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
Actually, I flashed it anyway, and the problems that I had been seeing seem to have been fixed. 2.8.0.1 is good. I'm running your Material Theme on my OPO by the way. Looks great, but can't wait for the Dark version =) I also inserted the Latest Light curtain that you had sent me, it all looks real nice together.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Any oddities or buttons missing on your Oppo?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] chikimonke:
Not Oppo, 1+1 or OPO :) but no, haven't noticed anything yet.

Also, where on TeamWin's Git do I find those changes? I'm still a relative Git virgin and can't seem to find these latest commits. Thanks

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jpbl1976:
Material Theme looks great!

I tried the Material theme on my Nexus 5 and put it through a few paces. It's quite good for an early version. Everything works and there's a high level of polish.

Having said that, I noticed that there is some inconsistency with the design of the sliders. In some areas like settings, the slider handle is a blue rectangle, whereas the slider handle in the slide to backup menu is a round slider.

I actually prefer the round slider handle because the proportion seems to be better overall -- I find the blue rectangle's scale somewhat exaggerated. Maybe a round solid blue slider handle in the same scale as the current round ones would work better? Having a round solid handle seems more in keeping with Android L design guidelines -- at least based on the L preview that was widely publicised (I know that the latest leaks are a bit different though -- back to nested switches?).
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Thanks for your feedback.

Are you on the latest TWRP version?

The blue rectangles are the fallback option for versions older than 2800. With the new version came the possibility to use images for the settings sliders, the rectangle you see is exactly the same size that the image would be (if it where displayed). It needs to be that way to correctly align the slider images.

As said, please update your recovery and try again...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Here's what the sliders should look like. There also is a touch effect applied, that shows the larger handle while using it.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jpbl1976:
That's odd -- I should be on 2.8. I updated my TWRP using the manager app. I'll try again. Maybe I didn't do it right.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] kevtrysmoddin:
2.8.0.1 is the latest
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Use the theme to update. It can flash image files as if it where zips.

On install page tap on "install zip" and switch to "install image". Rest is self explanatory...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Yusei:
Use Flashify, way better than TWRP Manager. ;)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] kevtrysmoddin:
Use fastboot it's beats both lol
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
I beg to differ... [emoji12]
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Yusei:
Flashify does all the dirty work xD

Just one click e bang! TWRP updated :p
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] kevtrysmoddin:
I must admit ever since I went to the dev preview I've had issues with apps like those its become the norm using fast boot
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] csolanol:
Does material beta theme applies to mako?

Ty.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
I create the themes on 1080, so until the official release there won't be a mako compatible version.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jpbl1976:
Yeah. Got it. My settings sliders look like that now and there's a touch halo now when I use it. However, I noticed that the slide-to-backup sliders look like they have their touch halo always present. Is that the current iteration or is mine just bugged?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
No bug. The sliders are not the same (different code). The confirmation sliders don't have the option to define a separate "on touch" image.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] WayneGretzky:
Another easy option is to browse the TWRP stream for a flashable zip, and then use TWRP to update...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Juzman:
This worked.
